12.10.98 - GnomeNEWS

I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't mention Furby again this week. Now that I've mentioned him, let's move on. I don't see why everyone's so incredibly excited about the dolls anyway? They appear to be annoying--and I'm not even a parent yet! I didn't buy into the Cabbage Patch Kids craze of long ago either. And as far as that silly red Muppet that giggled, I had that idea before they did. I called it "Tickle Me Pirillo". My guess is that someone was spying on me.

It's actually rather depressing. Christmas morning used to be a big thing for me, but now that I'm married, I have a feeling it won't be the same. Now I get to be Santa Claus. Of course, Gretchen's going to kill me when she sees how much stuff I'm going to get her. Since I already have my two front teeth, all I want for Christmas is for YOU to be happy. Even if you don't celebrate the holiday... just be happy. Oh, and for what it's worth, thanks for listening to my song. Yes, that's really me, I'm NOT a professional singer (I don't claim to be), and I'm not going to quit my day job. It's a stupid song not to be taken THAT seriously, gang.

GnomePROGRAM

Real Player G2 Final [2.8M] W9x/NT FREE

Get Real. No, seriously. I mean: get Real! They've released their final version of G2--which, might I add, is pretty darn decent. If you surf the Internet, you NEED to have this player (which is the main reason why I'm mentioning it). Even though you have an older version (including all previous Real Audio Player betas), now is the time to upgrade to G2. It's more functional (than previous versions), streams media better, and... well... what else can you use to listen to Lockergnome's Daily Defrag? Nope, don't try it with Windows Media Player--right now, we're not supporting that format. Haven't listened to the Daily Defrag yet? Why not? Now you should have no excuse. And I even threw Lockergnome's Christmas Song URL in here just for fun.

Virtual Snow Flakes v1.1 [111k] W9x/NT FREE

At the time I'm writing this review (11.26.1998), it has yet to snow in Iowa. Well, we had a few flurries a couple of weeks ago, but nothing major. Mother nature is holding back for some reason, and I have a feeling she'll be attacking with a vengeance within a matter of days. If you personally can't wait for the snow to fall for the first time this season (or, even if you have tons on the ground already), this pseudo screen saver will help you realize that Spring isn't such a bad thing. "Oh the weather outside is frightful, but this program is so delightful." It's a snowfall simulation--how exciting can that be? If you don't want white flakes, you can change it to drop colored flakes. Don't stick your tongue on a frosty computer.

Newsguy.com

Most of my early Internet days were spent in Usenet newsgroups. I was excited to see my "posts" being read by dozens of other people from around the world. If your ISP doesn't have a decent Usenet feed, consider talking to the Newsguy! 6 and 12 month subscriptions are available, and of course that comes with the obligatory free POP3 e-mail account. You'll be able to access the 22,000+ groups via the web or NNTP; it's quite a package.

THEME: View From On High [1.3M]

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on... things that are below me. Okay, so I'm not much of a lyricist. But I do know beauty when I see it. If you can't make it to the mountains every day (like most Iowans), just install this theme and breathe in some cool, high-altitude goodness. For those of you with allergies, I'm sorry. Wait--I have allergies, too.

GnomeTIP

I've always been short, so you can see why I get along well with shortcuts (for the most part). It's easy to create a shortcut of the currently loaded web page in Internet Explorer 4.0. Here's a couple of different ways: either drag & drop the icon in the upper-left hand corner of IE to a folder (or onto your Desktop), drag & drop the icon that's next to the URL in the Address line to a folder, or right-click on a web page and choose 'Create Shortcut'. Tall people can do this, too!
